:good: Good to hear the beans are getting through :D
It is a numbers game though, every time I order I take into consideration that they might not arrive at my safe addy. 7-8 times outta 10 they'll get through ;)

If beans are getting through, what are people ordering? Can you guys recommend strains by breeder that you've had good results with?

Busted after customs found my seeds.

Apparently they do get the odd one. Maybe it's because some people think it's a good idea to talk about m.o on public forums, maybe it's because they just get lucky.

If you had any idea what volume of international mail comes every day, you'd understand that customs focus their attention on 'significant' quantities and deliveries. They couldn't give a rats arse about trying to find half a dozen seeds amongst the tones and tones of mail that would need to be checked.

Take it to the people if you will -

Hands up ANYBODY that has been convicted for importing a non commercial quantity of cannabis seed.



Hey Mud,
I have my hand up,I just got done with a 1 year stretch for importing seeds,they opened my mail with out a search warrant,I still got busted.Thank Goodness I could afford a great attorney at the time.I ended up with 1 year probation,6 months in home detention,I lost my good job,my home,my retirement,everything.I have no one to blame but me,so dont think Im complaining.

Hey Go,
U.S.S.A.=united socialist states of america.

I had a pack of 5 beans that was intercepted by customs and my usps mail was opened without a search warrant.Not the first time they was intercepted.And not commercial quantity of seeds.So never never never have seeds sent to your growing addy.Even if the evidence is "tainted fruit"you can still get prosecuted.I am living it now.If my constant hammering of never never never send seeds to your grow addy saves 1 person from getting busted it will be worth it.I wouldnt want anybody to get busted and lose everything,I mean everything in their life because of seeds.If your freedom is worth less then some seeds by all means go ahead and have them sent to your site,then when they get intercepted by customs and they open your order with out a search warrant and then you get arrested because of it,well you where warned from that asshole that would not stop ranting about it.ME :)But hey if on the other hand you live where it is ok to order seeds and they dont care,like cali or others,then man I wish you the best of luck and many happy harvests,but alas I live in hell so that is not a option.
Sorry for the rant Guys,Im done :)

Gday Oz Stoners (see what I did there? ;) )
I had an unexpected windfall and have decided to get some beans.
Was going to go the 'boo route but am going with another site that guarantees delivery, they'll reship if it gets lost or seized.
Will let yas know how it goes.

Select a pack of seeds from seedbay/boutique, put your order info and some cash in an international express envelope and wait for your beans to arrive.
Don't use a normal envelope as they aren't tracked and royal mail employees are inclined to swipe your cash in a normal envelope.
The bay/boo will get your beans to you count on it. Then you will develop a seed addiction and the shit gets expensive:D

Yes exactly what I do and have done since about 1995, Mark Emery ,Heavens Stairway HSCS and a few others and then Gypsy when he come along about 1999 or so..never had an issue with the Bay/Boo but I always use a safe address to mail to..and kin_dawg is right you do develop an addiction I order 2-3 time a year

Depends what your after mate do you have any preferences? Eg. Stinky as hell/low odor/large yield/stoned to the bone/trippy/fast flowering/connoisseur best shit on the block:D
Ive had good results with many strains for different reasons.
Have a look through the vendor forums here and find something you like.
BOG has good hassle free genetics, his sour bubble will give you frosty potent nuggets/rocks, kinda slow growing but flowers in 50 days requires more work for a good yield. BOGs Bogglegum is good strong generic weed, hardy, large yield, smells like cookie dough.
Cannacopia has good cheap genetics
Chimera will give you hassle free wicked genetics. Paradise, serious seeds,.. ACE and mr nice for long flowering sativas, canna biogen for some obscure varietals.
